No, this garden is not dating from the Middle Ages, but it's so easy to cheat the style! Created in 2000 by landscapers Eric Ossart and Arnaud Maurières, this modern park draws inspiration from the Cluny Museum, close to the premises. They are followed with pleasure and interest, especially those on its terrace where plants are grouped by theme: vegetable (cabbage, onion, chives…), medicinal plants (sage, hysope, street, absinthe…), celestial garden (roses, violets, daisies, pasquerets, read, iris), love garden (thyme ornaments, eillets…). To see again, this time in the square opposite the museum: the carpet thousand flowers, inspired by the tapestries that form part of the collections of this institution.

The Tourist Office makes available some information necessary for the preparation of the journey: maps of the country, city plans, list of addresses of accommodation, restaurants and tourist sites (south of the island) and a calendar of cultural events.

The Verdeau passage came out of land in 1847, it bears the name of Mr. Verdeau, one of the promoters and shareholders of the company in the Jouffroy crossing. The passage is the work of the same architects as the latter and lies in the extension and the Panorama passage. More effacé and less prestigious, he has always suffered from comparison with his neighbours. But he has to be very bright because he has a high glass roof on the fish edge. All three passages offer an original and unusual location. The opening of Hotel Drouot (1852) has attracted in the passage Verdeau numerous antique shops and boutiques (antique books, old postcards, photo cameras…). For example, at 14-16, you can find a photo store… since 1901! A see around: the Grands Boulevards, the Grand Rex, the Grévin Museum, etc.

The first stone of this building was posed by Louis XIV in 1653, and it took nearly a century to finish the work. Built from a plan by Jacques Le Mercier, the church is inspired by the cathedral Notre-Dame. The building has been filled with chapels that are succeeding in the continuity of the nef and choir. The one dedicated to the Virgin, realized by Jules Hardouin Mansart, presents a superbly decorated dome in baroque fashion. This church contains numerous paintings, sculptures, frescoes and tombs. It is important to know that much of its heritage comes from churches that disappeared during the French Revolution. Note that at the foot of his beautiful facade with columns and his little staircase took place street fights between royalists and republican power on the 13 vendeman year IV, in other words October 5, 1795. At the head of the latter was a certain Napoleon Bonaparte who did not hesitate to pull out the gun on the insurgents.
